LEXIA IS AWESOME! HAVE YOU TRIED IT WITH YOUR STUDENT?

Did you know that in grades K-5, LFNO uses Lexia not just to boost foundational and advanced reading skills, but also to guide literacy instruction?

As students complete units, teachers can use the targeted skill builder lessons to intersect with any skills that were not completely mastered in the lessons. It is important that students are practicing regularly and meeting the recommended usage minutes in order to get the most out of this research-proven, and nationally recognized literacy program.

Lexia is proven to close the literacy gap when used with commitment and fidelity! If you are having trouble setting up or logging into your account, please contact your ELA teacher for login help if needed.

HEALTH UPDATES

Updated Health Information Form:

If your student has a food allergy, please fill out the Diet Prescription Plan signed by a physician if your student will be receiving any meals at school. If he/she does not receive meal service at school on a regular basis, it is still recommended to have this form on file at school.

The diet Prescription form can be found on the LFNO website under the PARENTS tab or click here. Send the completed form or address any questions or concerns in separate emails to your student’s campus nurse.
